“It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.” Oscar Wilde As a kid who grew up in the library, there are few joys like reading. We all need to feed our imagination & our curiosity. Reading shapes us 📕 #WorldBookDay

As a psychiatrist, I can affirm that living in a state of constant anxiety is exhausting. In times of turmoil, I find the best antidote is turning our angst into action. Help a neighbor. Read a story to a child. Find a way to touch people’s lives even from afar. @acgme

remember: anxiety is exhausting. unease is exhausting. you may not be doing much, but feeling super tired about it. that's ok. let yourself be tired and get some rest. have an extra nap (or three). we need you for the long run. stay safe. stay healthy.

As a child psychiatrist, I work with kids who have limited social skills. I ask if they get invited to hang out. Many tell me “no.” Others say nobody came to their birthday. Even pre-COVID. This is 💔. Please teach your kids to be kind. Especially to the kids who sit alone.

After a trip, do you wash all of your unworn “clean” clothes or are you normal?

In case you’re feeling like your career is stalled in 2020, always remember that CV’s are an artificial measure of life. Missing in promotion criteria are: 1. Time with loved ones 2. Spiritual health 3. Adventures 4. Self care 5. Laughter Measure what really matters!

After 3 years of separation from my 102-year-old grandma, we were just reunited! After gazing at my face for a long moment, her first words, “You’ve gained weight.” Grandmas don’t hold back 😀 But that’s why we love them!

I was in med school. The professor checked her pager and swore softly. We wandered out of class to cluster around a tv. People cried and walked aimlessly in grief. 18 years later, I’m a psychiatrist. I try to help others through new #trauma. #NeverForget #WhereWereYou

My youngest asked, “When did you first have a friend?” I was a shy kid, so I told him it took a while. As a child psychiatrist, I know that many kids are lonely. Teach kids to be kind. To talk to children who don’t have a place to sit at lunch. It can make a big difference.
